Tessa Hurley of the Firecrackers endured a rough body slam by the catcher as she slid into home plate with two outs to score what became the winning run against the California Cruisers in Sunday’s final game of the Ohana Tigers friendly mini-tournament in La Puente.

Hurley’s bruises pumped up the team and marked the beginning of a six-run rally. The Firecrackers won, 6-0.

The first-season Firecrackers Holcomb/Knight team racked up six more wins last weekend against much stronger competition from some well-established travel organizations to remain undefeated for the season.
